I was pretty messed up

14 year old female

When I was 12 my dad sexually abused me. He did that for three years. I told a friend at school. She told her friend and he came up to me and said 'I know what happened'. When it was sports day he bought me over to the toilets. There was no one around and he sexually assaulted me. I then started hurting myself. I was scared and did not know what to do. My friend gave me the Kids Helpline number and said 'I will be there for you when you call them'.

I was pretty messed up so I gave them a call and they were so caring and understanding. It helped me a lot. They gave me a lot of advice on what to do and what I can do if Kids Helpline is not here. I don't know if I could have done it alone and also if they weren't here, I may not be here today. SO THANKYOU KIDS HELPLINE, I COULDN'T HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT YOU!
